What a weekend!!
It was a fabulous Friday ride from the Bridge to Tiburon and back. Newbie Rachel came out to ride with us, and after the stop at Peets in Corte Madera, proceeded to ride over Camino Alto. All of a sudden we heard a loud blast-- it was Rachels tire! Apparently she had over inflated it (the bike shop told her 120psi, when actually it should have been 102psi!) and it eventually gave way. Rachel had no spare tube, no tools, no nuthin.... luckily I had a tube and CO2 to spare so we got her fixed up and back on the road in no time.... that was Friday
Saturday, Daniel and I ran 6 miles with our AIDS Marathon pace group. I am still amazed at how do-able it has been for both of us. We are meeting lots of fun people too, so it makes it nice to chat and passes the time quickly. After the run we decided to chase down the CAT 1 ride to Tiburon that was riding in the rain, so we found a bunch of riders and passed them in the car, ringing cowbells and yelling "go Riders!!".... they thought it was fun and we had a hilarious time doing it!
Sunday we collectively decided to cancel the Pt. Reyes Loop ride due to rain. Of course, an hour after we canceled, the sun came out and although it was windy it turned out to be a nice day to ride around town. A couple of other riders and I decided (after eating breakfast of course) to do a little ride out toward Lagunitas, turned around did a little ride over Camino Alto to Mill Valley and then came back. A total of 25 miles, so the day was not a total loss.
Three of the guys-Brian, Peter and Lawrence- who came out to possibly ride (even tho it looked like rain) went ahead and rode the route anyway and had a good ride, although they said there were head winds for the first 25 miles of the ride. Ugh! The ride back over White's Hill was nice and fast because the wind was so strong that it helped push you back over the climb!
Good day for all, see you on a ride soon!
